in order to study the effects of drought stress and municipal compost on quantitive characteristics in peppermint , a green house experiment in a factorial based on a randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2009 at university of zabol. treatments included: three irrigation levels %100 field capacity(control),%80 field capacity(mild stress) and %60 field capacity...

The goal of this study was to observe the impact of agro-management practices like, irrigation and nutrition on two pea (Pisum sativum) cultivars named Climax and Meteor at Horticultural Research Area, U.A.F. Growth parameters like Main stem Length (cm), number of leaves per plant, leaf Area (cm), number of pods per plant, length of pod (cm) number of seeds per pod and reproductive attributes l...

Water penetration in many California orchards and vinyards is a serious management problem. Chemical properties of soils related to their aggregate stability and crust strength were measured to determine if one or more properties could be used to predict crusting. None of the measured properties, including aggregate stability, texture, organic matter, and various forms of iron, aluminum, or sil...

The objective of this study was to assess the efficiency of a modification of the simulated individual best linear unbiased prediction (BLUPIS) procedure, which is used for the approximation of classic individuals (BLUPI) for selection between and within sugarcane families. A total of 110 full-sib families were employed in an experiment initiated in 2007 using a randomized block design with fiv...

Cluster-based large-scale demonstration of improved sorghum technology through irrigation was done with the objective demonstrating and popularizing in Bena-Tsemay district South Omo zone. A total 17 agro-pastoralists participated demonstration, one pastoral agro-pastoral research extension group containing 27 members established. The took place on a 10-hectare plot land cluster base. Participa...

Our previous work demonstrated that boron (B) supplied to soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merrill cv ;Williams 82') by a stem infusion technique increased the number of pods on branches and led to a significant yield increase. Therefore, research was continued to determine whether soil or foliar applications of B could be used to achieve the same results. Field experiments were completed with both s...

An experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 2010 to January 2011 to study the effects of cowdung and potassium on growth and yield of Kohlrabi. The experiment consisted of three levels of cowdung (0, 20 and 40 t/ha) and four levels of potassium (0, 20, 50, 80 kg /ha). The experiment was laid out in ...
